Just started 24 and House on DVD....Netflix is great for series. Over halfway into the first season of each, House is good, but too damn formulaic. They better get some better plot lines than 1) strange illness 2) almost kill the patient twice with two different treatments and 3)patient is saved, 3rd time was a charm.

24 is better, but almost ticked me off with a soap opera style car wreck, daughter miraculously jumps clear and the wife wandering around with amnesia. Other than that, it's been good so far.

House would be a better series if it was more about the characters than the patient of the week. That's what makes it formula; after a few episodes you are watching to hear some observations and one liners and a little bit of the "bigger story".

Are we supposed to become emotionally attached to these patient families who will never be seen on the show again?

Unless you get the dreaded "long wait" or worse "very long wait". Which is what happened to me with the 2nd season of the series "Ghost Hunters". So I deleted it from my queue and put it in my Blockbuster Q where its on a "short wait", but I've had better success at getting "short wait" movies from BB.

You will be hooked. My husband and I are half-way through season 3.
